University of Texas at Arlington

The University of Texas at Arlington’s (UTA) Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Reporting (IER) web page is this month’s NILOA Featured Website! For current UTA faculty and staff, the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Reporting offers professional development opportunities on assessment management systems and more meaningful assessment practices. Visitors to the site can find a multitude of resources including reports on UTA’s six core curriculum objectives– the learning outcomes that the state of Texas and the institution believe students should acquire through coursework and co-curricular experiences. A description of each outcome, accompanying rubrics derived from the AAC&U VALUE Rubrics, and rationale behind each outcome are also available. The intended student competencies by academic program are also listed.
